This is an odd little romance novel, which is mixed in with a naive spy drama. It was entertaining, but I find it hard to recommend to anyone. The romance is of the old, odd type where a man falls for a woman just by seeing her. The espionage story contains a secret which could destroy the country, but an agent who hesitates to break a woman’s heart to deliver it to his superiors.

This was a very entertaining story, and I enjoyed much. Normally I can set the story aside for awhile, but this held my interest until it was done.

This is a cute story lots of mix ups, chases, and some romance thrown in for good measure. Gail Mattern is a terrific narrator. This is the second audio book I have listened to that she narrated and she does a great job. I like narrators who know just when to make the right pauses and voice inflections. Thanks again Gail for another wonderfully narrated story.

Our hero is a secret agent on his first mission. On the run from bad guys, he gets mistaken for someone else and ends up getting married! Not to be put down, he outwits the baddies, rescues his new bride from her distress and finishes up in everything well.
The story is quite fast paced and exciting in the beginning. It somewhat slows down, but gets nice and romantic in the end. A nice story altogether.
The reader had a pleasant voice, and did a great job in conveying the mood of the story and characters with her tone. Many thanks
